10 Random Things About My Husband!

#1 - My hubs loves to fish! I mean sleeps, eats, breathes, and dreams fishing. He is known as the guy who takes all the kiddos on thier first fishing trips. The other day little Malorie asked her Uncle J if he would take her fishing soon. So sweet! He just has a gift and feels a connection to the "Fisher of Men".

#2 - My husband takes a sandwich to work almost everyday. I am amazed that a man can eat a sandwich everyday and not get tired of it. He does come home starving though!

#3 - My husband is one of the calmest souls I have ever known. He is very even-tempered and is the calmest one in his whole family. He has actually taught me a great deal about patience and just waiting for better things/days/people/jobs to come along.

#4 - He knows and lives true loyalty, at all costs. That speaks for itself.

#5 - The man can COOK! I am completely spoiled. When we got married, I thought my Mom prepared me well. She was a cook by profession and taught me as much as she could, but my husband would always beat me to the kitchen!!! I am not kidding. He cooks those fish he catches better than any restaurant could. One year for Christmas I got him the really unromantic gift of a 6 qt cast iron pot. It weighs alot, but he makes the best meals in there. He and I work well in the kitchen together. I think it is a way that we stay connected! A way of 'creating' something together.

#6 - My husband always, AlWAYS falls asleep in his chair or on the couch. He can just pass out in a matter of seconds and he is a very early riser. He is a morning person and he is still trying to convert me, hahaha!

#7 - Laundry! What can I say, he is so very helpful with all the household chores since we both work full time, but sometimes he tells me all the laundry is done and then the next day I discover some in the washer and the dryer is full of clothes too. Now if I do the laundry and fold it, he is always quick to put it away. Funny!

#8 - He grew up with dogs. Dogs of every variety. When we married his best friend what his registered yellow Lab, Sassy. She was the sweetest dog. We have no dogs and now have two cats and he really never had a kitten before so when Baylie came along, he was just smitten with her antics. The sweet way he spoils the kitties melts my heart.

#9 - His mom is the littlest woman and she was very young when my sweet husband was born. The doctor rushed the delivery and he got stuck and the doctor PULLED him out and pulled both of his hips out of socket. He was in full hip to toe casts for the first six weeks of his life. The specialist thought he might never walk, much less run or play sports. My husand was a on the starting string for his high school football team and ran track all through high school! Miracles abound!!

#10 - My husand is crazy stong! He has the most incredible upper body strenth and his legs, pure muscle. He works a very physically demanding job and he is one of the strongest men I know. He is always called upon when we have family and friends who need heavy things moved. He suprised me on our wedding night by carrying me over the threshold and truth be told I am not little in any way! Super strong, inside and out!
